hi chad, yes, ipmasqadm should work for the port forwarding. actually, i know someone else who uses ipmasqadm to forward telnet traffic from his external ip to another pc with a private ip. having other users who may/will want pcanywhere may definitly be an issue for you to consider! i've never used it myself... one of these years i have to install it just to see what options it has - like specifying other ports! (yes, i'm stuck with that other os at my job!)
